Hyannis Main Street Events
Dave Rosenfield of Hyannis Main Street Events took my DREAM and ripped it off but in doing so he perverted it because he doesn't live it, he doesn't breath it, he didn't dream it and he'll never "get it". It's all about the Benjies to Dave. He's never been there. He's not a performer. He can't see the difference between a petting zoo and a street artist. He thinks street performers are bums, or hobos or better still, in his mind, suckers. That's what he played me for.
My name is Allan Moniz I am a member of The Suspenders Juggling Troupe. I also perform solo. I have
worked for Food Play. I have also been the producer for the Mashpee Commons Street Performer's Festival
on Cape Cod for the past 15 years. I also teach circus skills in the area of Cape Cod etc; etc; etc;
Last summer I worked and booked other acts to work for Dave Rosenfield of Main Street Events,
in Hyannis, MA. While Dave was tough to negotiate with he wasn't impossible, yet. While working the event I immediately saw the possibilities of the venue and began to pitch the idea of a Busker Fest to Dave. He seemed very interested. Finally last fall (02) he asked me for a written proposal on the idea. I wrote up a detailed description of how busking works, how to build a festival that works for both the busker and the public. I proposed that we tie it into the festival I already had up and running and call the whole thing The
Cape Cod Buskers Fest. I explained to him the value of quality acts, why you want professional street acts, and how you had to pay good up front money to get the event established and do publicity to get the foot-traffic built up and how you had to know accurately the average size of "hats" to honestly represent your event to performers. I then proposed a comparatively modest budget to get the whole thing going.
He seemed to buy the whole enchilada and we had an agreement over the phone, or so I thought.
On the basis of that agreement I went ahead and e-mailed people about the event. I put it on the
Suspenders web-site, I began talking it up etc. I even contacted Mashpee Commons about the tie-in.
Then this spring I contacted Dave again to firm up the final figures, get a written contract, talk about logistics etc. and he completely pulled the rug out from under me. He basically ignored our earlier discussions and the written proposal and suggested a whole new price that made me gag, and then wouldn't budge on it. He essentially killed the deal. My head was spinning but what could I do, I knew what it costs to get good acts and I was already relying on my charm and contacts to get me a deal from the performers anyway. So I had to walk away. But you know what's coming next, don't you?
Now I hear he is calling performers on his own, some that I specifically mentioned in my proposal, claiming that he has this great venue, acting like he knows all about busking. No surprise there, I guess.
Maybe that was his plan all along but it still makes me feel like this:

He hasn't called me yet, but if he does, I'll stick up for you.
This very same thing happened to me with another gig recently. I was booked for a perfomance through an agency and even had a confirmation letter. Then I found out the client cancelled the entertainment at the event, cut out the agent and started contacting acts individually. That's slimey.
Never in my 12 year performing career have I asked for a deposit when I book a date. But in the past 6 months, I've had three different gigs (I had confirmation letters on two of them) on my calendar get cancelled by flakey agents or producers. Had I taken deposits, I would have been several hundred dollars richer and the agents/producers would have possibly learned a few lessons. I like to think I can trust clients, but it seems to me that lately things have gotten very tight, buget-wise, and very loose planning-wise.
I don't feel I NEED to take a deposit for most of my bookings, but I'm definitely feeling more cautios these days.

Rather than ringing 508-790-0167 and abusing Dave Rosenfield , or e-mailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com. Which would only confirm to him that you are a lightweight with no sense of political process, (which admittedly was my first impulse.) I would suggest you look at his business and see what it is that is most important for its continued success and then by legal and entirely legitimate means, go about the process of eroding those elements.
He has for example, an obvious relationship with the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce that benefits him. Either on your own, if possible, obtain the minutes of meetings held by them and from that work out who his contact person is and their title. Or you could just ring them but thats less subtle and could tip your hand.
Establish contact with this person and arrange a meeting.
At the meeting explain that you had done some unpaid consultant work for Mr Rosinfield, explain that you waivered your fee because you believed that a successful summer event would be beneficial for you in the medium to long term but to the community and the Cap Cod chamber of commerce immediately.
Express dissapointment at what you consider to be stock implementation of one agents local talent base and ask for the opportunity to submitt a brief of prospective proposals for their consideration for future summer event programs.
Explain that you are a one of a number of people who are working together to introduce and implement community festivals that harness a cost effective way of having international acts and variety acts participate in a way that maximizes limited budgets while providing a unique but tested new template.
As examples point to (and write up with contact info) Windsor, Waterloo, Dundas.
Quickly contact some or all of these people and explain what you are attempting, ask if you could ask their advice from time to time.
(Now you have a situation where you have involved a number of proffessionals for no cost.)
Also outline your experience as an entertainer and the extensive casting and goodwill potential that that implies (as regarding the budget)
Include a test sample of your best potential performers. With lovely pics etc.
Quantify benefits, emphasise increases in local revenue where possible and balance this favourably with budget outlays where you can.
(If you can use the phases, 'cost effective' and 'maximizing the impact of limited budgets' all the better.)
Give the guy a good presentation, good research and background and leave him/her with the impression that you are 'in control and capable.'
Given info that makes your contact look as if he/she's doing a wonderful job, have presented new ideas and showed you are capable of something interesting that doesn't automatically radically increase a budget you should get a look in and make your case at a full meeting in time.
Its a lot of work but not too difficult it you do it step by step.
This other guy will sweat and you may obtain your prime objective which is to put something on .
one consideration is that the CCCC might not be spending enough to make it worthwhile for anybody other than a shark who can hire sad attractions.
the low effort/low cost option is to contact Kim from the halifax festival who already puts on a series of summer festivals on limited budgets with a good variety of international acts. (I'm not inferring that i completely support all her business practices but she is a brilliant salesperson and does produce festivals where there were none before and her ruthlessness is admirable and she hires brilliant staff)
If theres indeed any budget she will leave this Rosinfield guy beached and gasping. (or you could do it yourself)
Good luck. Don't get mad..get even

Thanks Jim -
That's cool. That's very cool...the part about sticking up for me if he calls...although I don't think yours was one of the acts that I mentioned by name in my proposal(I didn't lay ALL my cards out on the table, after all. I'm not a complete fool.(Hey, no wisecracks there.))
But what you mention about money being tight is accurate , I think, and it forces the issue on whether people are honorable or not. Being
uptight and by the book is not the way I like to work and I hope it doesn't come to that. Your word should be good, that's really what it's about.

I really liked your use of the word Benjies.

Martin -
I just read your reply and am very impressed by much of what you write and say. When first the deal went sour, I cast about in my
head and came up with at least some of the options that you
put forth. I considered "going over" Dave's head...going directly
to the committee, making a direct presentation and felt confident
that I could "sell" the festival with many of the points you mention:
ie hooking into the international street performer's circuit, building
up the attendence so that the event pays for itself, etc. etc.
But I had considerations that such a tactic may back-fire, I had a sense that Dave may have this committee in his back-pocket. That maybe he is doing, as you say, what they want him to do: be a shark.
Also, when he asked for the proposal in the fall it was "to present
to his committee..." so they may have seen my concepts already and, as
I mentioned before, decided to defer to Dave's judgement.
But I do feel that there is a certain amount of - they are sitting on
a natural spot for street performing to develope and it is the best
forum to do a festival on The Cape. Better than my present Mashpee
site and the place that I have been looking to expand to for years.
I feel my Mashpee fest is starting to stagnate and I felt that this was going to be the break to expand it that I've been waiting for. Dave and the people he works for are, in my world view, blocking this logical flow. I really feel that, because of circumstance more than anything else, I am really the guy in this local area to put together
such an event. I mean I have a track record and all and there aren't
too many people of Cape Cod with a similar resume. In spite of all
your common sense suggestions on how to proceed, though, Martin, right
now, expressing this stuff here on p-net feels to me like it's getting
some of this situtation un-stuck, if in my mind only. After that, I'll have to see where
it takes me. But, again, thanks for your impressive analysis!

Ahhhhhh, yes. *This* sounds familiar.
'Tis the age-old conundrum of festival and event planners everywhere: how much information to include to convince a buyer you know what you're doing and can deliver the goods, without providing a road-map that renders you nearly irrelevant to someone with common sense who knows how to build contacts.
What are you selling, Al?
Anyone can (and often does) put on a festival. You need marketing, toilets, food, and something to happen.
What you are selling is your knowledge of the artform, your contacts amongst its practitioners, your ability to proactively forsee and eliminate conflict, and your understanding of the "soft" elements that build a festival's reputation within the community.
What you are not selling is the "idea" to have a festival. They're ten a penny.
A few pointers, if I may be so bold:
-ONLY talk to the decision-makers, the people who sign the cheques.
-Get a written "letter of intent", or better yet, a deposit, before submitting a proposal.
-Get thee to a lawyer - and get a strong non-disclosure statement that a client must sign before you release your proposal. This statement should include a provision that none of the third parties referenced in the proposal may be retained, except under bona fide contract to you, and that none of the information may be disclosed to anyone outside the evaluation team. Get it as toothy as you can. If they're serious business people, they'll understand and accept your desire to protect "proprietary" information.
-Provide evidence of your experience, worthiness, ability to deliver through references from other clients, producers you've worked for/with, artists who've worked for/with you.
-Don't name names until the cheque is in the bank.
-Take the complete proposal to the seaside town down the road that competes for tourists with the place that didn't have a festival.
-Accept that sometimes you just have to tell a client that they can't afford what they want, and walk away. Any attempt on their part to pull off an event without the elements you know to be crucial is bound for failure. Run.
If I had a dollar for every "might-have-been" I'd have a fistfull of dollars and a lot of "might-have-beens".
Keep on keepin' on, dude.

What are these "soft elements" that build a festival's rep that you mention in your p-net posting?

Those are the things you do, the items and services you provide, the care you take to ensure that artists are not just working, but made welcome AND provided with the things that they need, so that their only task is to give good show. 'Tis the ability to create that sense of temporary home that makes the difference between a place of employment and a place of enjoyment.

Current discussions around euthanasia, mainly, reflect two polar positions: supporting and abandoning an assisted suicide. Both opinions, in general, have enough defense to have right for existing, which makes the dispute sharper and more complicated. We are presenting a list of arguments against the euthanasia.
Anti-euthanasia laws protect people.
It is said that euthanasia is a tool that is able to relieve people from suffering and pain, which cannot be avoided without the assisted suicide. However, euthanasia can be abusive and the laws against protect people from the doctors that are dishonest and do not care about saving human lives.
Euthanasia as a half-way to legal killing.
At the moment, in most countries euthanasia is either prohibited, or voluntary. The last means that it is up to the person's will whether to continue life or not (which, in fact, makes it equal to suicide). We should beware of the times when euthanasia can become mandatory and people in certain cases will be just euthanized against their will for saving funds that could be used for treatment.
Euthanasia objects Hippocratic Oath.
The very first and main promise that is given in Hippocratic Oath is killing prohibition: by all the means a doctor has to save the patient's life and health. Factually, euthanasia disapproves this statement as a doctor is given a right to offer a voluntary death to the patient.
Opposing a right to live.
What is more, the phenomena of euthanasia existing opposes the constitutional right to live. This right is natural and has to be given to all people without any exceptions.
Hospice movement and palliation care.
Hospice is a movement known for providing palliation care for those who have incurable illnesses. It gives people moral and material support when they have no hope for survival. However, this movement does not exist in countries that have euthanasia legalized, which makes it clear that typically the incurable patients are killed instead of taking care.
Euthanasia costs more.
Some experts state that euthanasia is a great money-saver as all the funds that could be spent on unsuccessful treatment are not wasted. Nevertheless, if we check the numbers we will see that euthanasia drugs, on average, cost even more than life-saving medicines.
Discrimination issue.
After fighting for equality for hundreds of years euthanasia becomes a tool, which can easily abuse different social classes. For example, the poor will be definitely offered an assisted suicide if they do not have enough money for treatment or life supplying and doctors are indifferent to saving their lives. As well, a discrimination on the grounds of race and gender is possible in different countries, which traditions do not consider all people as equal.
Religious view on euthanasia.
In all the religions a life is considered as a God's gift, which is not given to everyone. Although we receive it we are not dominating it absolutely. Therefore, we cannot decide by ourselves when to finish life.
What is more, religions do not allow people to intend killing other people directly, as well as to cause someone's death.

I remember being eight years old when my mum handed me these hideous, bright yellow, rainbow floral printed leggings. I looked at them aghast - I already sported a thick set fringe for goodness sake, did she want the fashion police to take me away or something?
Then there was the dress-up stage when I was nine, where my mum (yes her again) put together a box of her old clothes for me to play in. I had an obsession with Grease the musical and would wear an electric blue puff ball gown, complete with net underskirt, to do the weekly family shop in at Sainsburys. Looking back I like to say I dabbled with vintage from an early age...
After that was the 'mosher' moment - you know, the baggy flared jeans with the low slung chains - yes I was the inspiration behind Meadham Kirchhoff this season I'll have you know (!) and I was sporting purple hair way before Jessie J.
As an early teen I went through the tom-boy motions going all out in over sized football shirts, lecoqsportif trainers (the shame) Kappa jumpers (need I go on?!) and faux sovereign rings - OK no more admittances.
Then, like a beacon of hopeful fashion light I was introduced to the high street along with the Topshop shoe range, the Zara tailoring and, of course, the designer collaborations from H&M.
I think I am now truly fashionably equipped after going through many clothing "accidentally on purposes" to sit alongside team Look at their High Street fashion show waving my Warehouse felt fedora in salute. As an ambassador of retail, I now know that they influence the way we wear clothes yet its us who styles them to suit ourselves.
I promise I have revamped my wardrobe since the floral yellow leggings fiasco swapping them for, err, printed palazzo pants instead! And who said I hadn't learnt from my past fashion mistakes? Maybe I was just very fashion forward? All hail my eight year old self...

History of Mazda MotorSports
Mazda Motor Sports began in 1967 under an independent racing team called "Mazda Sports Corner " located in Mazda Auto Tokyo, Japan. In 1968 at the "Marathon de la Route" in Nordshleife, Nuerburgring. Mazda had two goals, one introducing the first ever-rotary engine. Secondly, set out to establish Mazda Sports as major motor sports contender worldwide.
Over the next 15 years Mazda pushed their racing campaign across the U.S and Japan in both endurance and conventional races. When Mazda developed new car models "Mazda Sport Corner was the first to race them. In 2012 Mazda introduced a new version of it powertrain called Skyactiv-Diesel into it's racing development team.The racing team pushed the cars designs to make them function better for consumers with the use of a lighter weight frame and better gas consumption. Then, in 2014 after testing Skyactiv in the racing circuit Mazda released this new technology for the use of consumer vehicles.

There are always young attractive men and women no matter where you go or how you live. All throughout our lives we are met with obstacles, trial and error, and even temptation. Up to this point As a wife of 6 almost 7 years I have been able to refute temptation and uphold my integrity and virtue. However in life there are always people around who either cheat or have been cheated on. I often times find myself wondering about the will power of others; More specifically "Why do men cheat?
(I also have an interest in why women cheat, but for the purposes of this article I will be focusing on men. Please stay tuned for this article on women.)
Today there are people around us expressing themselves in different ways, living their lives opposite to others while coexisting in the same communities. With such variety you really start to gather a bit of perspective into other alternatives to a "Traditional" lifestyle. With media as it is today we as a society are exposed to (with or without our knowledge and/or consent) content that may or may not enter our subconscious and allow us to believe that even "wrong" things are right and acceptable. This makes us so insensitive to real issues of life and causes us to be… well "shock proof."
It is believed that from the beginning of time men always in one way or another indulged in the intimate company of more than his wife. In ancient times me of power often had "Hotels full" of concubines in which his wide was scornfully aware and had to bare. They would have their mistresses living in the same castles or empire a their wife. Though not on such a grand scale common men generally had extra marital relationships as well. A woman could not even enquire as to her husband conduct outside of her presence. To further harden the blow if a woman were even remotely believed to possibly be cheating on her husband he had the right by law to take her life. By fear women were kept as miserable possessions. Marriages were often social contracts that only the wife had to live by. As all of this information lingers the unanswered question still remains "Why do men cheat?
When you are a young girl or a teenager you start to learn the labeling or stereotypes rather about the type of women that there are and can be. You can be: A Lady, An "Old Maid", or a Whore/Hoe. From then on the pressure for a girl to uphold a certain level of personal responsibility is on. Men on the other hand are not given such pressure. They often times are encouraged to be careless in their mating habits and are not given the pressure of personal responsibility. Why is that? Is it possible that society has created a certain level of control on the population by giving pressure to one gender and not the other? What does that control, control? When does it become the responsibility of society at large, to check its issues i.e. teen pregnancy, A.I.D.S., other sexually transmitted diseases? Could this indeed be the reason why men cheat?
When in a relationship I find myself more grounded and settled. Not seeking or wanting more. The simple fact that I won't enter into a relationship unless I believe that for some reason this person is someone I would enjoy as a companion on a higher level than just dating. I like to keep it honest with myself and others, I choose not to relate to someone who I'm Just not that into! When you meet a person you talk to them and get an idea of the type of person they are, what they like and dislike, what they do, and what they desire in the future. In this time period, which can range from a few hours, to a few days, a week, or even months, you learn what you need to know about whether or not you are indeed compatible with this person enough to move up a level or not. So why do men get into relationships with someone they are not fully interested in or compatible with. Is it that we grow apart of that it was apart to begin with? Why marry someone if they don't make you happy, or laugh, or goofy? Getting into a relationship with some that you're just not that into, Could this be the reason? Still I wonder why do men cheat?
So with this is mind, men getting into relationships with women that are less than their "dream girls" or someone perfect for them. What happens to a man inside when he enters into a long haul relationship with someone whom (in his eyes) are less that perfect for him? Is this the precise moment where they begin to secretly lust for other women? Do they relize that their dreams were deffered? How and why is it possible for two people, whom at some point saw logic in a marriage and loved each other enough to get married, suddenly decided that they'd rather be with someone else intimately. Isn't this one of the precise reasons for marriage… intimacy?
Sometime when we get married we get tired of having sex with the same person or just having sex period. This is just as true for women as it is for men. Most women decide to stay in the relationship and stay faithful, simply deciding not to have sex when tired of having sex. However many men do not take the same actions, they just cheat! Is it because wives aren't "putting out" or is it because men don't want to ask? It would certainly be much easier to say "I want to have sex" than to cheat. It certainly seems to me that cheating is a personal option. Do they feel that they have right to have sex with another woman when they want to? Do they think about feeling on both sides or are men just out of sync with themselves, simply out of control? Am I just naive or are men just so weak that they can't control their own minds or body parts? Do they know that this logically concludes that men simply can't control themselves? Is it even natural for men or women for that matter to live in monogamy? Will there ever be a society that can live without a party in the marital union being just another option. Why oh why do men Cheat?

I know it has been a while since I posted – the end of the semester can be really busy.
The good news is I have a great video for you. I love the whole idea of flash mobs. I think they are so cool. This one is particularly cool. Imagine eating your kabob in the food court and being surprised by this incredible choir. Plus, this song is great. The lyrics are incredible. I am sure that this song will be sung constantly in heaven.
I think my favorite part is that it is happening in the food court of a shopping mall. It seems like Christmas is increasingly about shopping in the malls and less about the birth of the Son of God who came to take away the sins of the world, and now reigns as the eternal king preparing his eternal kingdom for those whom he loves. What a juxtaposition this song offers. As Christmas becomes more and more mundane, this choir offers a reminder about why Christmas is so glorious.

These Candy Crush level 170 cheats and tips to show you how to beat level 170 of Candy Crush. The goal of level 170 is to clear all the jelly and score 110,000 points in 30 moves.
Level 170 Cheat #1: Use lots of special candies and combos.
- All the jelly on this board is double jelly, so you will need some true candy-crushing combos. Simple 3 matches will not do it here with only 30 moves. Make striped, wrapped and special candy combos to clear the board fast.
Level 170 Cheat #2: Remember the jelly near the chocolate fans.
- The jelly that is underneath the chocolate and near the chocolate fans as well as the jelly stuck in the corners are the hardest to clear. Remember which jelly you have and haven't cleared because if chocolate covers it, you will need to remove it later.
Level 170 Cheat #3: Make horizontal striped candies and striped candy combos.
- For the jelly in the hard-to-reach nooks, a horizontal striped jelly can be very helpful. Try to make one to clear those tricky rows. If you can make a striped + color bomb combo, that's even better.

Arizona's Fowler Named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week Arizona's Kenzie Fowler (Tucson, Ariz.) has been named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week for the week of April 12- 18 announced today by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America. The freshman pitcher picked up three wins in the circle over the weekend, the only Pac-10 pitcher to do so, in a sweep of then No. 10 Stanford.
"I'm proud to represent the University of Arizona with this special honor. This was a great weekend for us as a team," said Fowler.
With the wins, Arizona (35-7) maintained a third place ranking in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll, also announced today by the ASA. Stanford (30-9) dropped one spot to No. 11.

She followed on Saturday by tossing a two hitter and had plenty of support on the offensive side as the Wildcats won 10-2 in six innings.
"It's a great honor for her and the team to be recognized by USA Softball. This is a well deserved honor because she's been good for us all year," said Arizona Head Coach Mike Candrea. "She's young, but I think the big thing is that she's been very stable for us throughout this entire year, and it's great for her to be recognized."
In the series finale she entered in relief and gave up just one run in 4.2 innings pitched to earn a 5-4 victory, her third of the weekend On the season, the freshman now holds a 24-5 record.

It's always a pleasure working with Dee. Not only does she love what she does, she wants the people she works/collaborates with, to love what they do as well. She brings enthusiasm, passion and creativity to the table. As a fashion designer, having the luxury of working with her beautiful hand dyed fabrics has been beneficial.
I would not be where I am had I not met her. She inspires and lifts your spirits. Dee wants to see everyone reach their potential. If she can help you with that, she will. Never thinking of just herself, she doesn't hesitate to reach out when an opportunity arises. She has included my designs (made with her silks) in numerous fashion shoots and I have met many people in my field because Dee introduced me and got me involved in projects. By doing this, she helped expand my horizons and opened doors that may have otherwise never been opened.
Us meeting was kismet. We were recommended to each other by different people and the timing couldn't have been better. I was looking for unique fabric and she needed a fashion designer. Since that first meet she has supplied me with some of the most beautiful hand dyed /printed fabrics I have ever worked with, thus elevating my designs. One particular example is a red dress I made in 2016 for the Heart and Stroke Foundations Red Dress Heart Truth Gala. She hand dyed roses on about four metres of fabric. It took her days to get them to her level of perfect and the result was phenomenal. I received a multitude of compliments and my dress was next level because of her hard work. Another great example of how Dee has helped me move forward with my business is a fantastic motif she created for me with my style in mind. It was perfect! I showed the garments featuring the motif in a fashion show and received amazing feedback and lots of requests. These garments would not have had the same look had it not been for Dee's thoughtful creativity.
I always look forward to new projects with Dee and to see what beautiful fabric I will have to work with. I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to work with her, to do so. It would be beneficial to both parties and her personality is an amazing bonus to her talents. What you see is what you get: talent, passion, dedication, enthusiasm, positivity, professionalism, a great sense of humour and most of all, support. She is truly one of a kind and I am lucky to have met her.
-Adrienne Goodine
We first had the opportunity to work with Dee Wilkie during Atlantic Fashion Week in the fall of 2015 and since then have had several opportunities to collaborate with her further as she develops her artistic voice and vision. A skilled surface designer, Dee has created a line of incredible silk fabrics that have been the creative inspiration for a variety of imaginative and adventuresome projects. Always willing to try something new, Dee's enthusiasm is truly infectious, infusing those around her with an energy that has lead to some ingenious and magical collaborations. Aside from her clear talent as a designer, it is Dee's passion, her personality and her dedication to her craft that is sure to lead her to great success as her career develops. We absolutely love working with Dee and will take every opportunity to collaborate with her in future!
- Katie (model and dancer), Andrea (mom)

A git-annex key has this format:
For example:
- The backend is one of the key-value backends, which are always upper-cased.
- The name field at the end has a format dependent on the backend. It is always the last field, and is prefixed with "--". Unlike other fields, it may contain "-" in its content. It should not contain newline characters or "/"; otherwise nearly anything goes.
- The "-s" field is optional, and is the size of the content in bytes.
- The "-m" field is optional, and is the mtime of the file when it was added to git-annex, expressed as seconds from the epoch. This is currently only used by the WORM backend.
- The "-S" and "-C" fields are only used for keys that are chunks of some other key. "-S" is the size of the chunk, and "-C" is the chunk number (starting at 1).
- Other fields could be added in the future, if needed.
git-annex always puts the fields in the order shown above when serializing a key. It can parse keys with the fields in other orders (although the name field must always come last).
git annex examinekey command can be used to extract information from
a key.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
"And I have just the men for the job. You see, I wouldn't want you thawing out any of those Mad Dog Killer types…and none of them muthafuckas from New York!"
– Wesley Snipes to Nigel Hawthorne in "Demolition Man"
Revisionist History
Apparently, Brett Favre is harder to get rid of than in – laws. After an unceremonious departure from the regular season where he quarterbacked the New York Jets to the golf course instead of the playoffs, Farve officially retired – again – on the heels of criticism by some Jet players as being more problem than solution when it came to New York's playoff aspirations (and, of course, no one has come out and actually said Favre and the Jets choked in the clutch – until now…they did!)
Now the Minnesota Vikings have the hots for Farve. The Vikes are a loaded team with a quarterback (Tarvaris Jackson) who survived in-house politics and a benching to lead his team to a division title and the playoffs; and his reward for such efforts?
The selection of career backup Sage Rosenfels and the pending return of Farve to the NFL as a Viking. The motive behind Farve as the Vikings' starting QB by divine right smacks more of revenge against Farve's Green Bay Packers rather than an upgrade under center; and the jockeying from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to the germination of the Farve saga by ESPIN into hours of inanity and a double – dog dare that Minny take Farve and fulfill Goodell's manifest destiny to have him break the all – time consecutive starts record added to this scenario.
To have Farve break the record would take him beyond icon status; in spite of the fact Farve's selfishness in not helping Aaron Rodgers got a pass from the entire league and all the big mouths at The Mouse.
The same muthafuckas that constantly rail about players being locker room "cancers" because of their lack of commitment to team didn't say shit when No. 4 treated his teammate and fellow quarterback like Number Two – and publically told his team he wasn't helping Rodgers to take his job.
But let's get back to the symbolism stuff. When the embodiment of durability in the rough and tumble world of the NFL is not just any player but a white quarterback, it's enough to give Chip Hilton a hard on!
So in spite of the fact Jackson drove the truck (you don't do sedans in Minnesota in December), he may have to turn over the keys for no good reason.
I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson – but in the NFL as we know it, that is for real…
"Nigger, you fucked with the wrong bull. You should've learned your lesson on the fuckin' basketball court. But you fucking monkeys never get the message. My father gave me that truck, motherfucker! You come here and shoot at my family? I'm gonna teach you a lesson now, motherfucker. Put your fuckin' mouth on the curb.
{Come on, man} I said put your mouth on the curb {Derek, no!} Now say good night!"
– Dialogue between Edward Furlong, Antonio David Lyons & Edward Norton in "American History X."
Up Against the Wall
To many Met fans, Dwight Gooden represents the halcyon days of New York baseball. In a recent appearance at the new, taxpayer owned CitiField, Gooden, when asked by a fan to put his John Henry on a piece of wall, gladly obliged.
Later he saw his gesture pissed on by Met management, who considered his signature to be "graffiti."
After some unexpectedly heated response by baseball fans (as in, "are you outta your muthafuckin' mind?") Met management re-spun the tale to later state the signature would be part of a Wall of Fame in another part of the ballpark.
Brain farts by the Mets notwithstanding, the issue would've never come to pass if Tom Seaver had signed that wall first…
"I thought you was better than the white man, Masta. But you is just…White!"
– Ken Norton to Perry King in "Mandingo."
The Cuban Embargo
The elimination of the Dallas Mavericks by the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Playoffs has become a sidebar in lieu of the recent actions of Mavs' owner Mark Cuban. In a hotly – contested third game in their series, Cuban called Nuggets' power forward Kenyon Martin a "thug" – and he said this to Martin's mother, who was in the stands when Carmelo Anthony's last second three pointer beat Dallas to go up 3-0.
As the boorishness of Cuban's attitude permeated through his team's fan base, they began to take liberties with common courtesy, verbally harassing and insulting wives and family of several Denver players while the series continued.
Cuban would eventually apologize for his behavior — on his blog — instead of manning up and saying what needed to be said to Martin and his family. Commissioner David Stern did not fine Cuban, but would have surely fined Martin had positions been reversed.
That Cuban's sense of entitlement determined his lack of class doesn't make it a huge stretch as to how he possibly feels about his own charges…
"Get this through your head, you Jew motherfucker, you! You only exist out here because of me! That's the only reason! Without me, you, personally, every fuckin' skell around'll take a piece of your fuckin' Jew ass! Then where you gonna go? You're fuckin' warned! Don't ever go over my fuckin' head again – you motherfucker, you!"
– Joe Pesci to Robert DeNiro in "Casino."
The Sum of All Fears
The ongoing efforts by the retired NFL players in getting the monies awarded them in their class action suit now takes a new turn at an upcoming summit in Las Vegas from May 29-31.
During this weekend, another meeting of NFL Alumni will be taking place in Palm Springs, about 40 minutes as the jet flies. Among those in attendance there will be the new head of the NFLPA, DeMaurice Smith.
Smith, who felt his current staff was suitable in spite of the fact members of said staff were found to have been in "violation of their fiduciary responsibility," in the judge's summary, has a chance to be either a bridge builder or toll taker; although the toll already put upon many of these players has exacted a very high price…
"Some trust fund prosecutor, got off-message at Yale thinks he's gonna run this up the flagpole? Make a name for himself? Maybe get elected some two-bit congressman from nowhere, with the result that Russia or China can suddenly start having, at our expense, all the advantages we enjoy here? No, I tell you. No, sir! Corruption charges! Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets. Corruption is why we win."
– Tim Blake Dalton to Jeffrey Wright in "Syriana."
As Black As the Ace O' Spades
The blow Black on the part of ESPIN's Destination Emasculation came in full effect with the news that Atlanta Falcons' quarterback Michael Vick was granted early release from his cell in Leavenworth, Kansas – to fill out the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
Any expectation of balance was quickly dashed during a recent presentation of their First Take show, where the Two Live Stews played point/counterpoint with resident protagonist Skip Bayless.
When the issue of Michael Vick came up, the dialogue of Vick always being a quarterback, having a winning record, achieving success in the playoffs in spite of quality receivers (including whippin' Farve's Green Bay Packers in their frozen tundra ass) was offered by the Stewart brothers; while Bayless looked to digress, ignoring Vick's success and desiring to have him come back as some bastardized Wildcat anomaly or Slash aberration – because he's not a "drop back passer."
Once Vick was confirmed released and in transit to Virginia, the following day's discussion on the show presented the disappearance of the Stews for Jackie McMullen, whom promptly screeched at how Vick should be suspended another year from playing in the NFL.
For the third consecutive week, whether it was Rob Parker or the Stews providing too much heat for the opposition, the removal of their input in mid-week seems to be a deliberate effort to nullify strong dissenting opinion on any topic contrary to their agenda.
When Parker sounded off on Farve's selfishness and how if it were ESPIN favourite whippin' boy Terrell Owens acting like a bitch, the rhetoric would be pumped up to the max against Owens, he was replaced the next day by a mealy – mouthed reply supporting Farve from Howard Bryant.
Now that Vick is out, ESPIN seeks to play proctologist, with as many cameras and microphones up his Black ass as possible. The dehumanization continues as strangers with pit bulls knock on the Vicks' door and others want to "pray" with him.
While nebbish muthafuckas who have never played a down of football wanna tell the world why they think Vick can't play football. It has become so bad that football has fallen far down the line in terms of relevance to Vick's sense of self due to the nest of vipers hissing at him over the airwaves; ready to strike with lethal doses of venom which are designed to have his soul die as slow and as agonizing public death as agendas will allow…
"The jungle creed says the strongest feed / on any prey that it can; and I was branded beast at every feast / before I ever became a man."
– Laurence Fishburne in "Deep Cover."

Hajar Mountains
These rugged, soaring mountains include the UAE's highest mountain, Jebal Jais at 1,900metres high. The Hajar Mountains offer spectacular scenery with a number of wadis and hiking and mountain bike trails. The temperature here is some 10 degrees cooler than on the coast. New in 2018, and perfect for thrill-seekers, is the world's longest zip wire as officially recognised by Guinness World Records at a staggering 2 miles long, that's the length of 26 football pitches! Jebel Jaid Flight, as it will be known, drops from near the summit to a landing platform stretched across the valley some 1,300ft below. At the height of your flight you will be around 1,100ft above the ground and travel at some 75mph. In all, the journey will take you less than a couple of minutes!
Via Ferrata at Jebel Jais mountain
This new adventure product opened in November 2016. The Via Ferrata (Iron Path) is the first in a range of mountain adventure and nature products being developed in the Hajar mountains. Over 470 metres long, it has three individual routes, all offering varying degrees of difficulty. There are also three zip-lines, ranging in length from 165 feet to well over 950 feet.
There are twice daily supervised tours on the Via Ferrata: the standard course, Ledge Walk, takes about 4 hours; the middle, technical route (Middle Path) about 3.5 hours; while the higher, vertical route (Julphar Scare) takes 1.5-2 hours. Age and weight restrictions apply and all clients need to prove themselves on the standard course before tackling either of the two more technical routes.
Mountain Picnics
This special itinerary takes guests by private car high up into the Hajar Mountains and to Jebel Jais, its highest peak, for a delightful, romantic picnic. With spectacular scenery, it's a natural paradise.
Seawings Seaplane flights
Experience the thrill of a take-off on water at Ras Al Khaimah and head off to Dubai for an amazing birds-eye view of all the famous sights, before landing on the water. Then it's a short car transfer for a day at the new Dubai Parks & Resorts theme park, a Bateaux dinner cruise, or a wildlife drive at Al Maha. Read more about Seawings Seaplane tours.
Al Wadi Picnics
Lasting about 4 hours, guests are taken by car to the Al Wadi Equestrian Adventure Centre for activities and a picnic.
Desert Safari with Barbecue dinner
This memorable experience takes place in the terracotta desert and includes 45 minutes dune bashing in a 4x4 vehicle, welcome drink, camel riding, sand boarding, henna painting and shisha smoking (optional!), barbecue buffet dinner, Tannoura and belly dancing.
As well as exhilarating 4x4 dune safaris, horse riding, camel treks and go-karting are also available. Guests can also experience a night under the stars and see the spectacular constellations.
Golf courses
Several golf courses are available for guests to challenge their golfing skills.
For something totally different, take a kayak excursion into the mangroves that extend right into the city of Ras Al Khaimah. With much wildlife, including flamingos, you won't believe you are in a city!
Culture & Heritage - City Tours
The local, friendly way of life is very much as a result of desert dwelling, seafaring and an Islamic way of life. Traditions of falconry, camel racing, art and fishing still form a key part of it and local museums and forts are a good way to get a glimpse of the heritage. Half cay or full-day tours are available.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NDS - Console and Game Discussions' started by Moots, Mar 4, 2008.
For anyone interested IGN just posted screens for Luminous Arc 2.
Luminous Arc 2
sweet loved the 1st game
It needs to hurry up and come out. >_>
Looks awesome. I really enjoyed the first one. Can't wait for it.
Looks good. I just hope we can skip the dialogs this time around...
That looks really good! Thanks for the link Moots.
Haven't played the first one yet, but it looks alright.... Especially being similar to Final fantasy tactics...
I just started the first one last night, and I already can't wait for this one.
The first one was pretty fun i hope this one does the same
Something else to quell my thirst for strategy RPG's.
I need to hurry up and play the first one. I seem to remember playing the first scene, and just turning the DS off. Then I took it off my cart. Shame, because I loved FFTA, and it looks fairly similar.
Mmmmboy, can't wait.
Just started playing the first one because of this news.
Liking it so far!
The beginning is somewhat boring, but trust me, it gets better.

Lawsuit over school mascot will proceed
Dec. 22, 2017
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A lawsuit against the South Burlington School District over the high school's mascot name change will proceed.
The Burlington Free Press reports Judge Robert Mello denied the district's motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by a group of South Burlington residents.
In February, the school board voted unanimously to drop the "Rebel" school nickname because of previous connections to the Confederacy. Students later chose to adopt "Wolves" as the new mascot name.
Some alumni and parents had argued that the board should have waited for a public vote before they proceeded with a name change.
Mello wrote that school officials can't deny the electorate from instructing them through special ballot items.
An attorney for South Burlington School District says the district is considering an appeal to the Vermont Supreme Court.

I am working on a couple of projects, one knitting and one sewing, one almost completed and one just getting started.
On my knitting needles I am about to finish my first pair of toe-up socks. First let me say I am not a "Knitter". Only in the past 3 or 4 years have I started knitting again and I knit my first pair of socks about 2 years ago. I just walked into my LYS and said to Hannah, "I want to knit socks. Fix me up." Wisely, she handed me Sensational Knitted Socks and sat me down to read. I walked out with the book, dpns, and yarn. I had little trouble, except they were way too big when I finished. So recently, I undid them, washed the yarn and picked a different pattern from the same book, a smaller size and started over.
Since I didn't want to run out of yarn I thought I should do them toe-up. I hadn't done toe-up socks even though I hear them talked about on a lot of podcasts and had seen them in all the sock books I have purchased. I ended up using a toe-up sock pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks book. I had a terrible time with the cast-on and Tweeted about my problems. Heather Ordover from Craftlit came to my rescue with the Magic Cast On from Knitty.com. I've been happily knitting since and am about finished. Yeah!
On the sewing side of the needle issue I am starting a table scarf for DD1. It is made from green duppoini silk. I had in my head I would do a decorative hemstitch. I bought the wing needle and sat down to work last night. Boy, did I find out there is a whole lot more to a decorative hemstitch. Right now I am doing my homework. Luckily I have the book, Fine Machine Sewing by Carol Laflin Ahles. She does a great job of explaining how to do hemstitching. I will be practicing a lot before tackling the actual table scarf. But I'm looking forward to learning this new skill.

A brief description of the service, the motivation, mission, goals etc
Allow user log in. I would like this feature to keep track of those that are serious and sign up to access the detailed data of the application and just not one time visitors. I would like for people that wish to explore further to enter a name, email address, location, create password etc
Advertisement space
B. Admin Tool
Once logged in the following features should be accessible
Local Wedding Vendors Page, please refer to the [url removed, login to view] , local vendors link on the main tool bar
Each local wedding vendor would then have a page or pop up of services offered contact info, pricing and necessary data. I prefer the pop up information toolor a scroll over feature.
Please advice as to what you thoughts on this are?
The registry Page, please refer to the [url removed, login to view], registry icon on the main menu bar.
I really like the layout of this registry page…once a user enters this page he/she would be able to select from a list of local stores with a photo, name, description of the store and how many items available.
Each store should have their own page that shows the product name, price, description and photo, the user may select to add to registry. The user will be prompted to login or if the user is logged in, the user will be redirected to the My Registry Page and allow registries to be created.
There should be a MyRegistry page that shows all the products added in the past, shows the date added, photo, description, price and link to the store and other info.
C. Expansions
The following feature I would like to add in the near future and as expansions to the project
Life after Marriage Page
Ideas and Advice Page
Honeymoon Page
Wedding Store- An ecommerce portal for us to sell online and deliver to clients high quality classy wedding items, from the service, reception, showers, etc
Please can you provide quote for the following:
A, Item 1 and the Admin Tool
B, Items 1 and 2 and the Admin Tool
Both A, item 1 and B, items 1a and 2a and the Admin Tool
For B, I am thinking that initially I would like to have just the main page with all the stores and no additional functionality and the main page for the registry with no options to create registry etc I am guessing I am either going to have the store owners or wedding service providers to consent or I can just load businesses as I see fit. I am thinking I would not want to put every and any business but ones with both good and quality service and product so I may need to do some marketing and visits etc.
The aim of this is to get a costing, and have a site that can act as a display the potential service we plan to offer..and probably have a message stating that the additional features soon come
Both A, item 1 and B, items 1a and 2a,b,c and the Admin Tool (full functionality)
Each Item in C as a separate price
Please advice as to how I would be able to update the pages, administer it and what technologies languages you would be using.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and or concern.
Looking forward to doing business with you.
Interested in delivery of the first phase in a 2 week period.

The Pressure vessel design tool inside Solidworks is a useful component that allows combination of the results from static studies carried out on a component. To run this Pressure vessel design tool, you must first carry out static analysis on the part.
I went with a cylinder supported at the ends by two rigid supports.
Once you have equip the Solidworks simulation add-in in the add-ins folder all you require to do create a new study and select static study.
Afterwards perusing the static study, at the head of the feature manager tree the first task is to assign a material to the part. I went with Plain carbon steel for this illustration. Solidworks has a large collection of materials to choose from the materials library.
Next we are required to define the loads and fixed supports.
My load is in terms of pressure inside the vessel acting against the walls of the vessel. I considered a pressure of about 8000N.
Solidworks automatically calculates and generates the mesh required to run analysis on the model. Factors considered include the size of mesh and number of nodes. The designer has the option of adjusting the size of the mesh by toggling from fine to coarse mesh.
Once the mesh is created you can proceed to run the static analysis.
Once this is done you can combine this static analysis with another by simply moving to the pressure vessel design study and specifying which studies you would like to combine, and the type of combo whether SRSS or a linear combination.
SRSS stands for square root of the sum of squares. This feature is pretty useful especially when you have multiple design studies since it combines these results using linear combination.
Solidworks never ceizes to amaze with its diverse capability.
Contact us for more information and buying SolidWorks at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 03 86770871

Bain Capital to acquire Physio‐Control from Medtronic
Minneapolis and Boston
Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE:MDT) and Bain Capital, a leading global private investment firm, today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which affiliates of Bain Capital will acquire Physio‐Control, the world's leading provider of emergency medical response technology for use in the intervention and treatment of cardio‐respiratory and other medical emergencies. The stock of Physio‐Control and related entities will be purchased for cash in a transaction valued at approximately $487 million.

Brian Webster, currently President, will continue to lead the company, and will be named Chief Executive Officer following completion of the transaction.

I found Dawn through thumbtack while looking for a tatoo artist for our daughter's bat mitzvah. She ended up providing the tatoo artists, making chocolate party favors for the event, setting up a beautiful candy buffet for the kids and also being a general sounding board for many questions during the planning process. She stayed and monitored the event, was there whenever I needed her and all at a reasonable price. She was always very professional and prompt. Her goal was to make it as easy as possible for me and my family. I was surprised to find out how many things she could have supplied for the event. I would definitely recommend Dawn to my friends and family.
Was very happy with the results. We needed an online launch and presence. They quickly made the phone ring which is exactly what we were looking for. They manage all of our online ads. They know their stuff. Love them.

An Age Of LicenseBook - 2014
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
In this cute travelogue, a young comic book artist documents her lengthy solo European vacation through Norway, Sweden, France, and Germany. Along the way, she finds romance, and ruminates about her life purpose.
A fun autobiographical read about the artist's European business and pleasure trip. Wry and relatable observations about life as a twenty-something.
A sweet little travelogue but as an avid traveler I couldn't help but think that my travel graphic would be oh so freaky awesome.
A great travelogue style graphic where the author ponders life, love, and her travels. A great book to get people who are not usually into graphics to try one. Most of the book is in black and white which works wonderfully when you get to the full page color panels. Really helps to give them gravity. Great for anyone who enjoys a biography style read.
This author/artist is really growing on me. I love her thoughtful observations about herself and the people and situations around her. Her drawings are also simple yet refined and easy to follow.
In "An Age of License," Lucy Knisley shares her travel journals during a very dynamic period of her life. Invited to speak at a conference in Norway, Knisley finds herself traveling by herself for the first time as she wrestles with her own self identity and adulthood as she continues her career as a cartoonist. As she sets out, she muses on thoughts of her own luck and privilege, worries about the future, and all the things that are uncertain and that have not yet been accomplished. On the way, she embarks on a relationship with a dreamy young Swede, explores the culture differences between American and Scandinavian attitudes towards life and personal growth, and spends time with her mother and friends in France. Each of these locations are depicted in exquisite detail. In France, she encounters a wine grower who mentions off hand the idea of the "Age of License," a time in which young people are free to experiment and be themselves. This idea, which seems to appear no where else, begins to obsesses Knisley and I too find it both a compelling idea and a disturbing one. Where did this age go, have you squandered it already? How best can you take full advantage? Easy for some wealthy old guy to talk about, I guess.
Knisley's water color work continues to be beautiful and evocative, displaying the places she visits, Bergen, Cophenhagen, Berlin, Paris, and the small French towns she and her mother explore, her thoughts and artwork really kindle in me the desire to travel. In the past, I too have often found myself dividing my life into "periods" separated by a major trip; the trip to the Pacific Northwest to begin my college career, the next one as I begun grad school, backpacking Europe just before stepping into the "real" world, I really echo Knisley's argument that travel puts our own lives in a different context, allowing you to reflect and think. Of course, we are distracted by the delicious food and sites, but every experience changes us. What will my next transition trip be, I wonder? Could any journey, by itself, be an "age of license"?
A lovely graphic novel memoir about a young woman making her way in the world, both literally and figuratively. Knisley uses her travels through various European countries as a method to discuss her life, and where she might be going in the future. Utterly charming, romantic, and incredibly sweet.
Lucy Knisley lovingly combines a personal narrative with her endearing illustrative style to craft a travelogue about her time spent traversing Norway, Sweden, and France. Age of License will speak to a reader of any age that has reached the crossroad of "Where am I going?" and "What am I doing?" in this game called Life. So, if you are asking yourself these questions or may enjoy a youthful perspective with a visual accompaniment then look no further!
A charming pictorial travel diary full of humor and wonder with a touch of romance. Knisley is a creative genius.
